Hi,
In order to call servlet from the JSP page, you can achieve this by setting the attribute action of the <form> in HTML to the servlet and then submit the form.

HI,
In order to call the servlet from JSP page u can add the
<form name="" action="SERVLET_PATH">
</form>
It is one method and u can also call servlet using the JavaScript in the <head> tag of the .jsp page
and also directly from the anchor <a> Tag.
Have a nice time
